No.7 FOUNDERS' Weberites Defeat Crimson; Play For Western States Championship Dec. 25 Displaying a better brand of football ia every department of play, the Weber gri ciders took the state and also the inter-mountain, mythical penant from the B. Y. C. in a fast, hard fought 12 to 0 name. T'laj' was started by the Crimson Eleven. The kick off was run back by Halverson 20 yards and taken out of bounds. The next play was a sweeping" run around left end in which Halverson, reeled off 30 more yards for the Purple. Halliday made a fair g-ain around right end. The next play, a split-buck, was solved by the Logan men and Monk was downed for a loss. Couch missed a place kick from the 42 yard line. The B. Y. C. failed to make good yardage from their 20 yard line and booted to Halliday, who ran the ball back 10 yards. Weber commenced a number of line plunges that put the ball on the Crimson 40 yard line. Couch kicked a difficult goal from placement for the first 3 points of the game. The second quarter began with the ball in the center of the field in B. Y. C.'s possession. After one first down the Weber men held the line and the ball went over. Weber tried two plunges and then Couch kicked from the W's 30 yard line. Lewis returned the ball to the Loganites 45 yard line. The next play was slated for a gallop around right end but Lewis fumbled and Zinn nabbed the oval and raced for the only touchdown of the game. Couch's attempt at goal was blocked. Late in the second fram the spectators were passed a real thriller when, by means of the Ilcisman spread, Lewis received a pass from midfield and raced to the two yard line, where he was stopped bv Hallidav. A line plunge by Lewis was thrown back for a yard loss Then the whistle blew for the half. Weber kicked at the beginning of the second half. B Y. C. began what slated to be a rally, by using the Ileisman spread and alternating end runs, passes, and plunges from that formation. The Logan machine only made three first downs during tli is period and for the great cr part of the time the ball was in the Purple territory In the fourth period the nigskin was carried past the 11 Y. C.'s 10 yard line three different times and each time the B. Y. C. held while Couch tried placements from the field. One of these from the 18 yard line was successful. Having won the mythical inter mountain football championship, Weber now has the right to play the eleven of Phoenix, Arizona, the Pacific Coast champs. A game with them on Christinas day will decide the Western Stales Junior College Championship. l YULETIDE GREETINGS: LOVE, PEACE, PROSPERITY SUPT. KARL HOPKINS VISITOR AT WEBER Superintendent W. Karl Hopkins of the city schools was the speaker at devotional exercises December 10th. He spoke on the subject of Education encouraging the students to take advantage of the opportunities for development offered to them here at Weber College. He explained the qualifications which normal graduates should have in order to suc cessfully teach in the city schools. He said, "The first requisite of a good teacher is intelligence. You cannot teach something you do not know. Knowledge is open to everybody. He attributed ignorance to these three causes: self indulgence, laziness and procrastination." The second requisite of a successful teacher is character. Enlarging upon this subject Supt. Hopkins said, "I like a teacher who is truthful. One who has a passion for getting things right. An honest teacher must be courageous, to be able at times to say T don't know.' "To be accepted in the city schools a teacher must have acquired good manners and personal tidiness. A teacher teaches what he is, as well as what he knows. "He should have an abundant knowledge of the subject he is to teach. This is a very important part of your training. You can't teach boys and girls unless you know your subject. Be prepared when you come into the classroom. (Continued on Page 4) Girls Organize To Create More Pep Again the co-eds of Weber unite their brains and brawn in preparation for the performing of big things. This union we know as the Girls Association. Past years have proved it to be superior to all other organizations in stimulating and producing school spirit. This year the girls promise bigger and better entertainments than ever before. Ruth Folkman as vice president of the student body automatically becomes president of the association. Other officers will be chosen soon and various entertainments will be underway "muy pronto."We are to be highly favored January first, by the ushering' in of our old long wished for friend, "L e a p Yea r." Boys, watch your step at least become acquainted with some of the fairer sex and treat them kindly, that you will not have to sit at home with your regrets the night of the girls' illustrious jubilee. DAY APPRECIATION BY THE PRESIDENT AND FACULTY The splendid spirit manifested by the students this year has far exceeded that of previous years. The Faculty especially appreciates the attitude taken toward the standards set with regard to higher education. The transition from High School to College is ven' noticeable in all the various activities of the institution; and the sterner requirements of college work are being met by the majority of the students. This is very gratifying to the Board of Trustees who are constantly alert to all progress and development of the school; and who are equally interested with the President and Faculty in all movements of a bigger and better College. These all unite in expressing their Heartiest Good Wishes for the Christmas Season and every desire for happiness, progress and success in the lives of the students of Weber. President Aaron W. Tracy and The Faculty. Winter Sports Are Great Fun When Old Man Winter forms an icy crust over the snow and invites us to come play, will we want a Winter Sports Club? Do we remember the sleighing and skating parties of last year which were successfully put on by the Winter Sports Club? Will we ever forget how much we all enjoyed ourselves tobag-goning down the hills? To those of you who have never participated in an activity of this kind, we can only say that you have missed a great deal of fun, but you will nevertheless have something worth while to look forward to; the organization of this club in Weber College. To those who have in past years taken part in Winter Sports activities, we say: "Get in the fun again this year." Weber must have a club of this kind to measure up to the standard in college activities. Activities of an athletic nature are usually limited to the boys, but the girls get equally as much enjoyment in this case. Through a Sports club we can become mentally and physically balanced, (not that there is any special danger of us becoming overbalanced on the mental side). The old saying that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is still true. Students don't leave the organization of this club to the few students who usually get up everything in school, or if you do, don't then complain about the school being dominated by these few students. Make this club a reality, not merely an idea, for we anticipate some very good times in this line before the winter season is over. A frown is a malady it is contagious. A smile is a tonic it is also contagious. Let's boost the tonic and eliminate the epidemic. i n mi iniiinniiini iiiiiiiinniiinn THURSDAY, CELEBRATION JANUARY 7th. J APPRECIATION Whlen we think of "Peace on earth good. .will toward men," we think of Elder David O. McKay, who all his life has been prominent in the life of the Weber College. He is not with us at the present time but we know his good will is constantly toward us. Elder McKay is now president of the European Mission, doing for it what he has done for Weber. Years ago Elder David O. McKay came to the Weber Academy as a student. It was soon after Louis F. Moench, as first principal, began the noble work of this Institution under trying and barren conditions. In 1902 his work was taken up by David O. McKay, who was principal until 1908. At this time he was made a member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and president of the Weber Academy Board of Trustees. This latter position he held until 1923. In all he has directly served this Institution over twenty one years. As principal, Elder David O. McKay, through his character, carved in marble the ideals of the Weber College. Hundreds of former students always have ringing in their souls one expression Elder David O. McKay often repeated, "The aim and purpose of the Weber Academy is to make men and women of character, who may be of service to their fellow-men." He is the embodiment of this i-deal and through his influence it was firmly established in Weber. David O. McKay did more than inspire high ideals, he laid the foundations for Weber's material progress. He, in in i n nniin mill DECEMBER 20,1923. Z'4 of D. 0. McKAY with the Board of Trustees and friends of the institution, was responsible for the erection of the west wing of the present College building. It has been a great blessing to the students, giving them an assembly hall, a basket-ball floor and a dance hall. It was back in those days that he created a vision ot the present day Weber. It was then that he caught the vision of the large campus for which President Tracy and the Alumni Association are now working. In those days Elder McKay created the idea of the wonderful Weber Gymnasium. Twenty years ago, as he looked into the future, he saw the need we would have for a proper building for physical development, a real Gymnasium. He caught the spirit, the vision, the enthusiasm of it all. He raised the standards of realization and struggled from that day to the present to achieve the great idea. He never lost sight of the vision. When others weakened and were ready to give up the thought as an impossibility, he pressed forward inspiring every one with hope and faith. The students believed in him. His faith was their faith; his hope their hope; his inspiration their inspiration, and together with toil and sacrifice they have builded a monument which will forever bespeak their unselfish devotion to Weber. We are grateful to Elder McKay for his unselfish service. We thank him for the great ideals he has established and the great visions he has created for Weber College. These visions picture for us a still greater Weber, and as a united student body we arc determined to aid in bringing them to pass. i nn u iiiiinn i nun i GREETINGS FROM THE STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Christmas, 1923, holds for Weber College a new beginning of what is destined as be the greatest Junior College in the West. Weber plays Phoenix on that memorable day and thus establishes the fame of the real Weber Junior College. May we all this Christmas, feel a greater spirit and happier interest in our school, which only Christmas can bring. For after all it is the spirit of the students that makes the school. If we as students are united with our officers, the President and Faculty, there is no limit to what we can do. This was proved by our victory over B. Y. C. last week. We must all work and go forward together to make a bigger, better Weber College. Therefore we, as Student Body Officers, wish you the Merriest Christmas and the Happiest New Year that you have ever had. Junius Tribe, Pres. Ruth Folkman, Vice-pres. David Kennedy, Sec'y. Weber Dancers Are Entertained Several new features introduced at the Weber Student Body Dance Friday Dec. 7, made of it an interesting and successful affair. Weber's "Jazz Hounds" were present in abundance, and merrily tripped the light fantastic to the strains of Jack Bower-ing's super-jazz orchestra. One of the most interesting features of the evening was the exhibition dancing executed by Bernice Harris and Bill Christenson of the Chris-tenson school of dancing. They demonstrated the correct posture in dancing and gave some new steps which made up a very beautiful dance. The difference between the "correct position" which was demonstrated, and the position which some of our knowing jazz hounds take, in encircling the waists of their fair friends, was really surprising. However, nearly every one noticed a marked change in the other terpsi-choreans after Miss Harris and Mr. Christenson had danced. In another exhibition dance they won the admiration of all of the dancing fans with the difficult pivot and glide steps. The prize fox-trot was a very interesting affair, with Coach Wilkinson and his wife taking the prize. The prize waltz was more closely contested, but the judges finally decided upon President Tracy and Miss Osmond as Weber's "Premier Waltzers." Another interesting feature was the presence of a "stag line" that occupied all of the south side of the hall. We wonder if someday all of these boys who come to the dances alone, are not going to find themselves "left" when it comes to getting' dances with the other fellows' girls. It is getting to be the case that a fellow almost has to conduct a "knock-down and carry out" to g'ct a dance with the lady with whom he comes. i i i h n in nn To Commemorate Beginning Of Weber College, Alumni And Students Celebrate COLD CANYON BREEZE Only ten members , of the Freshmen class mustered up sufficient courage to brave the chilling blasts on December the tenth, and put into action the plans of the "Freshmen Hike." The party which was accompanied by Prof. Noble, boarded the 11:10 street car and enjoyed a very comfortable ride to the Hermitage. Here "Fox and Geese" and a number of "other out-door games were played, to create more spirit and life for the occasion and incidently to furnish warmth in the absence of stoves. The next move was a hike up the mountain north of the Hermitage, led by the daring Baney Wilkinson. But before the heights of the climber's ambitions were reached, a piercing wind changed their minds and likewise their course. Their changed direction took them speedily downward for a distance of two miles which lay between them and the place designated for lunch. Never was a "grand and glorious feeling," witnessed to such an extent as when the half-frozen eleven reached the Newman Cabin at Fair Mount. Never was a warm fire, and hot chocolate so appreciated. Thanks to Mrs. Tanner for her foresight in providing Van with the ingredients used in the preparation of the hot drink. Mr. Burton and Miss Corry were kept busy sawing logs to keep the fire radiating (Continued on Page 3) Present Taxation Subject At Club County Assessor Barrett was the speaker at the weekly meeting of the Forensic Club. He explained the present tax system operative in Utah. According to Mr. Barrett the general property tax is the only state tax which is reaching a majority of the people. Thus is a tax of 3.3 on property in the city district and 2 on property in the county He said that it reached both rich and poor but was unjust because the poor are forced to shoulder the majority of the tax. It is a tax placed upon those who arc the least able to pay. He gave statistics showing the present status of Utah's tax system and explained wherein it could be improved. Mr. Barrett's visit was very beneficial to the debaters. An understanding of the taxes now operative in the slate is necessary if they are . to intelligently debate the question: Kesolved, That a graduated tax be substituted foi the present system. 1T7 j n nniiiniiiii 1 mini FOUR PAGES Thirty-four years ago, the leaders of the Latter-Day Saints of this community founded a Weber College.
